Oh man, I just read the first book in the series. So when I saw this, I was SO excited!!

I think you did an amazing job taking on the spirit of the Hunger Games and putting it in your own writing. The characterization of Subaru, Yasu and the others seemed dead on, especially if you take into account what living in that type of world might have changed about those characteristics.

You can feel the pain in Subaru's words about coaching this tribute. And Yoko. Poor Yoko. He doesn't even feel anything anymore about them...

Sad, but so well done!
